Chapter 249 Bitter plan
"This is all the credit of Grand Tutor Jiang! If you hadn't been your words and deeds over the years, how could they cooperate so much? If we were one step later, the noble master had already boarded the ship that went south. No matter how capable the imperial guards had, they would not be able to catch them."
Gu Ning's light words made Taifu Jiang so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
Yes, the Jiang family does not care about the interests of the family in order to protect themselves. It is indeed the nature of the Jiang family.
Gu Ning's hands were circulating on his chest and his eyes were sneering, and he just looked at Taifu Jiang.
Suddenly, Grand Tutor Jiang's expression changed drastically. Even when he knew that Jiang Qian was arrested, he had never lost his mind like this.
"You..." Mr. Jiang's lips buzzed a few times, but he was unable to express his inner thoughts.
He wanted to question Gu Ning, was Gu Ning's previous obsession with Chu Yunyi all the same disguise, or was it just a shield, just to cover up her true purpose - to overthrow the Jiang family!
But Gu Ning's beautiful and clear eyes were not concealed at all, and he looked at him sarcastically, which fully confirmed what Grand Tutor Jiang was thinking.
After a moment of silence, Grand Tutor Jiang laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I was an official for so many years and was deceived by a young man. County Lord, you have made me so hard to deceive me!"
Gu Ning was slim and dressed in a graceful manner. She chuckled and called back all the rest of Master Jiang's words: "You didn't take it wrong. I had a deep affection for the Third Prince before, but it's a pity... The Third Prince has someone else who is happy with him."
"And." Gu Ning's expression suddenly became serious. She said solemnly, "My grandmother and grandfather are all loyal and loyal people who are loyal to the country. They have joined forces to expose your Jiang family's actions in Yuezhou, not for personal grudges, but for the people! Don't judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"
Gu Ning said these words loudly. After being stunned for a moment, Grand Tutor Jiang could no longer say anything to refute.
Even though he regarded the Pei family as his enemy, he had to admit that the Pei family had never been in harmony with them over the years, nor had they done anything to sorry to the people.
"The family tradition of your Pei family is indeed good." Grand Tutor Jiang shook his head, "I lost."
As he said that, he walked into Dali Temple without looking back.
Seeing his hunched back, Gu Ning was always worried in his heart, and never dissipated with the arrest of everyone in the Jiang family.
"What's wrong?" The eldest princess asked with concern.
Gu Ning walked forward in a small step and gently held the eldest princess' hand. She opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start.
The eldest princess was extremely patient and looked at Gu Ning with gentle eyes.
After a long time, Gu Ning said worriedly: "Grandmother, Grandmaster Jiang Taifu has been an official for decades and has good scheming and means. Do you think... would he admit defeat so easily? Don't forget that even if the queen is deposed and the entire Jiang family is taken to the heavenly prison, as long as the third prince is still there, they will have hope."
"If I were Grand Tutor Jiang and had been planning for so many years, as long as I still had a glimmer of hope, I would never give up easily."
After hearing this, the eldest princess's peaceful eyes fluctuated slightly.
After pondering for a moment, she nodded: "Your worries are not unreasonable, but all we can do is wait."
"Even if the third prince's mother tribe becomes a thorn in the emperor's eyes, he is the emperor's favorite prince. If the emperor hadn't been disgusted with him, we would not be able to move him." The eldest princess was worried that Gu Ning would misunderstand and explained in detail, "But as long as he moves and shows his strength and does not need us to act, the emperor will deal with him."
"But now is not the time for us to do it."
Gu Ning understood the eldest princess' concerns, and the emperor was suspicious. Today, it seemed that the Pei family had won a great victory, but it was precisely because of this that after eliminating the Jiang family, the emperor would suspect the Pei family. If he attacked Chu Yunyi again, the Pei family would be in danger.
The survival of a family is a matter of the emperor's thoughts. Even if the Pei family holds military power, if the emperor really wants to kill, the Pei family will be in crisis.
Gu Ning responded softly: "Let's just wait. It's not us who should be anxious, but the third prince."
I'm afraid that Chu Yunyi is now,
He was already in the third prince's mansion and was so anxious that he jumped.
As Gu Ning thought, at this time, the Third Prince's Mansion was in chaos, and everyone was like a headless fly with no direction.
First, the queen was deposed, then the Jiang family was imprisoned by the entire clan. This series of major events did not give Chu Yunyi any chance to react. After he received the news, everything was settled and there was no room for maneuver.
Chu Yunyi sat in the study, with several staff members surrounding him, discussing the matter in a slight manner. They were fighting for hegemony, mostly quarreling about whether to completely define a relationship with the Jiang family.
"The Jiang family not only participated in the smuggling in the court, but also suspected of colluding with the enemy and treason. If Your Highness does not define a relationship with them, then the emperor will blame you, I am afraid... I am afraid that Your Highness will also be implicated!"
"That's not the case. Since the emperor decided to deal with the Jiang family, he must be suspicious of being in the high court. We don't leave the capital like this. With the men left by the Grand Tutor, we may not be able to fight with the second prince!"
You said yours, I said mine, and you discussed it for a full hour, but when you were dry, there was no unified opinion.
Chu Yunyi held the armrest on the chair, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were exposed, feeling very upset.
"Enough!" He shouted loudly, interrupting the discussion of several people, "Do you think that at this point, I can still leave Beijing? If you don't believe it, you can go outside the mansion to see the vendors and passers-by, see if they are ordinary people or the spy sent by the imperial guards!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped immediately.
Indeed, due to the emperor's suspicion, he had already given Chu Yunyi a kindness to not let the imperial guards be stationed outside the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness! I have a suggestion!"
Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open with force. Gu Qingqiu stood in the light and shadow, with his hair slightly messy, and he was looking at him panting. Behind Gu Qingqiu, several guards knelt down one after another.
"I have already reported to the princess that you did not see anyone in the study, but the princess insisted on not listening. My subordinates and others dare not... dare not hurt the princess, so that the princess entered the study."
When he saw Gu Qingqiu, Chu Yunyi had long lost the love he had in the past.
All his feelings for Gu Qingqiu were diluted in these successive things. If Gu Qingqiu had not concealed his life experience, he would not have been so passive until Gu Ning revealed it! The mother's queen was deposed, and the whole family of the mother's family was put into prison, but he could only wait for news here!
When he thought of this, his eyes turned red. In order to maintain his image in front of a group of staff, he did not show his face, but asked word by word: "What are you doing here? You, a woman, know what major affairs of the court?"
"I don't understand the important affairs of the court! But I understand the embarrassment of the emperor now!" Gu Qingqiu's hands clenched in her sleeves, and her sharp nails fell deeply into the palm of her palm. Until now, only pain can make her stay rational and not become a hysterical shrew.
While everyone hadn't come back to their senses, Gu Qingqiu quickly said what he had been brewing for a long time: "The emperor has always suspected that the princes had the intention to rebel with their mother's family. Now that he is getting worse, these suspicions are getting worse. When the Jiang family is deeply involved in the suspicion of treason, it seems that severing relations with the Jiang family is the best choice, but in the eyes of the emperor, you are also connected with the Jiang family, but for your own benefit, you can cut off your connection with the Jiang family without mercy. He is afraid that he will alienate you even more!"
Several staff members nodded repeatedly, and the aide who agreed to leave Beijing even shined: "What the princess said is very true. We will leave Beijing immediately. Even if there is eyeliner staring at it, as long as we take a boat south and then go from Shu to Yuezhou, we..."
"Since the emperor is very suspicious, he will never let His Highness leave the capital." Gu Qingqiu denied his proposal, changed his gentle and graceful manner in the past, and said loudly, "According to my opinion, it is better to let Your Highness enter the palace immediately and plead for the Jiang family!"
In the surprised eyes of several people, she was still calm: "You are the emperor's own son, and you don't even have any tiger poison. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, the emperor will never touch you! And when the Jiang family is in danger, you risk pleading for mercy, which can not only show that you are a nostalgic person, but also allow the emperor to dispel your doubts about you."
"What's more, Grand Tutor Jiang has always had some skills in the court for so many years. The outcome is not yet decided. Why should Your Highness rush to escape from the capital?"
"yes!"
Mr. Zhuang, Chu Yunyi's most trusted aide, slapped the table heavily and looked at Gu Qingqiu with his eyes shining.
The next moment, he bowed to Gu Qingqiu: "Princess is a talented person! I am ashamed of myself!"
"The princess is a talented person!" Several other staff members also saluted one after another.
Gu Qingqiu stood there, smiling gently at the few people, and could not see her previous embarrassing appearance.z.br
"Your Highness."
Gu Qingqiu's gentle and gentle shout made Chu Yunyi come to his senses.
He looked at Gu Qingqiu with complicated eyes and wanted to say something, but under the gaze of several staff members, he had to suppress those words and whisper to Gu Qingqiu: "You go back first, and after I discuss the matter, I will go to you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqiu's eyes immediately lit up. She smiled and walked out lightly step by step.
Seeing that her back was still the same, Chu Yunyi couldn't figure out his thoughts for a moment.
At this time, Mr. Zhuang walked to him and looked at Gu Qingqiu's back with him, saying meaningfully: "Your Highness, family background is of course important, but the position of this princess is always to be seated."
"But she..."
"What the princess said just now made his subordinates have a plan." Mr. Zhuang shook his head and interrupted Chu Yunyi's words, "Whether you maintain your previous attitude towards the princess or the Jiang family, then you can add a lot of points in the eyes of the emperor!"
